Customer Reviews The North Face Recon Backpack

I bought this backpack for traveling through airports and from city to city. It looks and feels just like the picture and description.

I am in College and with lecture notebooks, notes, school supplies, books, laptop, etc... This back pack honestly makes it so much easier to handle it all. My laptop even has its own pocket and it's made of very durable yet soft material so it won't scratch it up. When walking up hills rather than feeling I will fall back the back pack almost jumps with me and adds support around my lumbar area (being a girl makes it feel even more soothing when one has cramps). It has room for two water bottles on the side (I carry a 32oz bottle) and it fits snug and doesn't just stretch out, it retracts back to its original form. The pockets allow room for enough space and even has a tablet sleeve as well! They are also even prettier in person! If you're debating between this back pack or a cheaper one just get this one it's honestly durable and should last a very long time!

I've used this pack for light loads and travel. I bought it primarily for travel to Europe and am actually excited at the comfort I know I will feel throughout the travel experience. I have done some light traveling however, and the pack fits great and distributes weight evenly. Best pack I've had by far!!

I love this product, thought it's kinda itchy when wearing a tank top.

The amount of space in this bag is great for a student! The padding provided in the bag for a laptop is great because I don't need to lug around a computer bag to protect my laptop. Also very adjustable!

Very sturdy, not too many straps, so it doesn't get caught up in things when you travel. Just the right amount pockets, so you know what is where.

Awesome backpack! I should have bought this years ago for my son, instead of listening to him and getting the other brands that just don't last as long, or are near as good in quality (but they charge near as much). My daughter has had her NorthFace Recon backpack for years, and even though it has seen a lot of use both with school and hiking trips, it still looks great and absolutely no tears or broken zippers! She even once used the whistle that's built into the strap clip in an emergency situation. Good job NorthFace on making great products that also have a lifetime guarantee!

This is good backpack that's gonna last very long and thank u north face for having very good service.I hope to get more products from north face

I'm a college student and this bag is great. I got it in my school colors so it looks really cute. I can carry my laptop and a bunch of my books and notebooks in this bag and it still be comfortable. I can carry it with my long walks to my classes and be fine.

I bought this backbag for college. It's comfortable, has great capacity, and fits my laptop.

I have shoulder issues so I was looking for a backpack with great padding and light weight for comfort. This was a great choice! I love everything about this backpack and it is great for students.

I use it for college but it's great for camping or when I stay over at somone else's house. even to play sports I take this with me

Love how padded it is to protect my laptop. Would recommend for any college student

Couldn't be happier with this pack -- looks good, comfortable, not bulky but has great capacity. I use it mostly when cycling to work or recreationally. It can hold a 15" laptop and a growler at the same time, easily, with room to spare.

Running around campus, it helps to have a backpack that has such good support.

I would use this product for school because it offers great space for books and organized pockets for other things.

I'm going to use it in college. My friend has a North Face backpack and she loved it. So I figured, why not buy my own!?

I use this backpack for traveling and also for school. Fits everything very well!! Special compartment for my laptop, and the many small pockets inside are very useful for everything I need to store. Organization is key!!

The pack pack that I bought for my college son was even better than expected. This will last him the duration of college. Way to Go!

I bought this backpack at the beginning of the school year and take public transportation every day to school. I have also taken many trips with this backpack, and it's able to fit a week's worth of clothes for when I want to pack light. Also, the front drop pocket is super useful for small things, like a book or a pencil case -- nothing has ever fallen out on me. Despite the wear and tear of traveling and commuting, my backpack still looks as new as the day I bought it! Although a bit heavy, the durability of the bag and capacity to hold all of my textbooks every day have won me over completely.

I like that there is a place for my computer and my iPad.

I bought this for my daughter who is beginning College in the fall. She loves the style and the fact that she can carry large loads. The laptop sleeve is a great addition.

Absolutely an amazing bag. I had a 22L bag that I'd been using for school. The problem with that bag was that it was too small, didn't have enough compartments, there weren't many pockets at all, and my stuff sat really weirdly in it. So when I decided to look for a bigger bag, I decided that it needed to be one that had everything the 22L was missing and that I could also use for backpacking and traveling. I found this bag and I fell in love with it. Not only does it have way more compartments and just the right amount of pockets, it also has the space that I was looking for and I don't really have an issue with the way my stuff sits in it. I take this bag almost everywhere with me. I take it to work, on weekend trips, if I'm going to a friends house, traveling. I use to carry so much extra stuff and now this is the only bag I really need and use(besides a super lightweight day bag I usually keep in the large compartment in the back or the mesh compartment on the front). My favorite feature on the bag is the front little zipper pocket. I use that pocket so much and it's great for easy access to essentials. My only complaint would be that the waist belt isn't very wide so it doesn't provide the support that I would've like to have from a waist belt. Other than that, this is the best backpack that I've ever had and I'm still just as in love with it as the day I got it.

Love all the pockets! Haven't started school yet but it will be great for all my supplies in vet school!

I use this product for basically everything. I am traveling to Spain and I will use this bag to carry around my things while I am there. The bag helps with the availability to carry essentially whatever you want, wherever you want. I love how there are multiple pockets to put belongings into. Without all the different sizes, I would end up putting pencils in a computer sleeve.
